Her eyes, though, immediately fixed on Sjan-dehk, that enigmatic and captivating presence that had been lingering in her mind. A small, involuntary smile tugged at the corner of her lips, her heart fluttering in response to his presence. Her eyes briefly turned back to Cassius as she watched him move to the woman who’d had a smoothie dumped on her and things slowly began clicking in her mind. The woman had addressed them, she knew who [i]Lord[/i] Cassius was and she even knew her name. With how Cassius was looking at the woman, Kalliope realized this must be Lady Charlotte Vikena. With a sly smile and a playful glint in her eyes, she looked towards Cassius, who had wandered off to assist Charlotte. [color=8D3B72]"Oh, Cassius, dear,"[/color] she called out loudly enough for him to hear. [color=8D3B72]"So this is the girl whose name you said last night instead of mine? She’s even more beautiful than you made her out to be at dinner!"[/color] Her teasing tone was undeniable, a mischievous sparkle dancing in her gaze as she watched his reaction. It was all in good fun, of course, a way to remind him of their casual escapades. Her attention then turned to Sjan-dehk, his presence drawing her in like a magnetic force. As he tipped his hat and greeted her, Kalliope felt her heart race a little faster, though she wasn't fully aware of the reason why. She listened to his words, a bemused smile gracing her lips at his honesty. [color=8D3B72][i]"Good morning, my dashing Captain,"[/i][/color] she replied, her voice holding a genuine warmth as she swapped languages. [color=8D3B72][i]"My words were meant to be cutting, that’s for sure. Layla and I have a small bit of history, though I am surprised I’ve had no repercussions from them yet."[/i][/color] She met his earthy gaze with her vibrant one as she smirked playfully, a connection forming that she hadn't quite expected. In that moment, the beach was a canvas of interactions, each thread weaving its own story, and Kalliope found herself becoming entwined in the tapestry of the day. He made mention of her appearance and a mischievous look twinkled in her eyes. [color=8D3B72][i]”Oh I certainly was hoping you’d think so. I did hope to turn some heads.”[/i][/color] She playfully twirled to let him get a full view of her, however as she came back to face him she realized his gaze was upon Charlotte and something stirred within her. Her eyes narrowed some as she glanced at the woman then back at Sjan-dehk. With a slight edge to her tone, she addressed Sjan-dehk's question about Cassius. [color=8D3B72][i]"Oh, that's just Cassius Vael,"[/i][/color] she said nonchalantly, though her words carried a hint of bitterness she couldn't quite hide. [color=8D3B72][i]"Just a charming and roguish nobleman I met last night, known for his ways with the ladies."[/i][/color] She didn't realize the underlying jealousy that had crept into her voice. It was odd, unfamiliar, and honestly a bit unsettling. As she watched the scene unfold, Kalliope was torn between her amusement at Cassius' predicament and the strange discomfort she felt in the pit of her stomach upon seeing Sjan-dehk’s interest in Charlotte. She decided to turn her attention back to Sjan-dehk, her playful smile returning as she pushed aside her unfamiliar emotions. [color=8D3B72][i]"So, my dearest Captain,"[/i][/color] she said, choosing to embrace the lightness of their banter, [color=8D3B72][i]"how do you know Lady Charlotte? Seems you’re quite interested in her."[/i][/color][/color]
